Dr. Lee M. Hood is best known for his development of technologies which have enabled the advancement of predictive, preventative medicine. Dr Hood’s journey began at a young age, when he was an assistant professor of molecular immunology at California Institute of Technology in 1973. After being appointed Chief Strategy Officer for the Institute for Systems Biology in 2000, he was invited to become its Chief Science Officer. During his career, Dr Hood has been at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of scientific and social issues. He has developed several technologies which have enabled predictive drug discovery and systems medicine, including systematically perturbed metabolic networks and automated DNA sequencing. In addition, he has created the groundbreaking technology of free-living cell sorting, which allows for the isolation of single cells that can be studied to gain insight into processes such as gene expression and transcriptional control. Human Genome Project One of Dr Hood’s greatest achievements has been his involvement in the Human Genome Project. He developed one of the first automated DNA sequencers, which enabled the initial physical map and sequencing of the human genome. This contribution was essential for identifying and locating genes on human chromosomes and enabled scientists to have a better understanding of how our genetic makeup impacts our health and health care system. Dr Hood has also been instrumental in developing technologies which are helping to revolutionize medical diagnostics and treatment. He has developed color-coded probe pairs that can detect multiplexed measurements of gene expression, enabling the discovery of disease-perturbed networks. This technology is being employed in three clinical trials for early detection of breast cancer, using proteomic analyses to predict the probability of metastasis. Systems Thinking and Systems Approach: Keys for Optimal Wellness Dr Hood’s systems thinking approach has been integral in developing technologies which are enabling precision medicine, as well as predicting and managing health trajectories. He believes that by focusing on a systems approach, such as integrated genomic and proteomic analyses, one can identify the underlying causes of disease and optimize wellness. Dr Hood is also an advocate for utilizing data collected from whole genome sequencing and advanced technologies such as mass spectrometry to develop machine learning-based predictive models that can lead to better health outcomes. Molecular Biotechnology In addition to his work in systems medicine, Dr Hood also works on the development of molecular biotechnology. In 2000, he established the department of Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Washington, which introduces research from cross disciplinary biology, chemistry and computer science. He is also actively involved in several projects aimed at developing technologies for researching Alzheimer’s and cancer, as well as developing new antibiotics and antivirals to combat emerging diseases. Through his work, Dr Hood has set the stage for a future of precision medicine, where treatments are personalized to an individual’s genetic makeup and lifestyle. His vision is also one of optimizing wellness through a better understanding of how our bodies function at the molecular level. By leveraging advances in data science, machine learning and systems biology he has created an environment for research that is driving us closer to personalized medicine at a faster pace than ever before. His passion and dedication to his field have had a profound impact on the way we think about health and wellness. He continues to set the bar high for innovators and researchers alike, pushing us all to uncover new insights into how our bodies work and the science behind disease.
